Of fir—Everlasting. Where changes never come.
2:1. I am the rose—Glorious, beautiful, without a peer.
Of Sharon—(The Plain). Not seeking exaltation.
The lily—Pure, fragrant, exquisite.
Of the valleys—Meek and lowly of heart.
2:2. As the lily—Pure, humble, defenseless; so the Heavenly One responds.
Among thorns—Which scratch, tear and wound.
So is My love—“Continue ye in my love.”
Among the daughters—Nominal church organizations.
2:3. As the apple tree—The Bride thus refers to Christ.
